This event will be focused on the field of peptide science, with a broad range of topics covering, among others, advances in peptide chemistry and structure, bioactive peptides and their therapeutic applications, and peptide biomaterials, nanotechnology and delivery.

Topics

• Synthetic chemistry of peptides, amino acids and proteins
• Emerging peptide-based technologies
• Bioactive peptides (antimicrobial, cancer, metabolism, neuropeptides, vaccines, etc.)
• Peptide prodrugs, targeting, delivery and uptake
• Structure and conformational studies of peptides
• Peptide therapeutics and clinical application
• Proteomics and peptide bioinformatics
• Peptide materials and catalysts for the nanobiosciences
• Peptide mimetics, peptoids and peptide nucleic acids
• Peptide-sugar, -lipid, -nucleic acid and –drug conjugates
